   Did 4 years in the military first then went to Nursing school at age 21. Also had my first child in my first year who was 3 when I graduated lol. If I had started fresh out of high school dont think I would have made it through as I just didnt have the personal discipline to really apply myself at that time. Back then joining the military at 17 wasnt so bad but I wouldnt recommend it in todays times just to get that education. It did pay most of my tuition and books though.

   I will be 52 when I graduate with a new profession. I spent 25 years as a police officer, was injured, and had to find new career. It has been difficult, but well worth the sacrifice.
